改过的基因，扭曲的真相（Altered Genes Twisted Truth）
(美国政府对转基因食品撒了弥天大谎--珍.古多尔推荐，作者：斯蒂文.朱克)
顾秀林: 这是一本新书，更是一枚重磅炸弹。摘要翻译几句先贴出，明天再贴译文全文。
2015年两会已经开始了，【中共中央国务院亲自推出面进转基因大扫盲大科普】的一号文件，发布两个月了，民盟中央的“执行转基因大国策”情愿条陈已经公之于世了。中国的转基因大跃进，其实已经基本上完成了。
生米煮成熟饭之后，转基因技术的极大的危险性，转基因产品的普世的危害性，再也掩盖不住了。转基因的黑手党中国支部，为什么十万火急，拼死拼活必须在2015年完成中国转基因水稻合法化的“程序”?因为过了这个村，就再也没有什么“店”给转基因歇脚了。
中国的国运，整个亚洲人民的命运，竟然系于一个转基因技术用能还是不能用，这么一个诡异的焦点上。
转基因生物战争的第一战役，早就打完了——中国完败，没有疑义。我们从不自欺，也不欺人。
在这种形势下，我们的口号——消灭转基因法西斯，生存权属于人民——具体化为一个号召：中国人民自各自为政，力更生，城乡直接联合，自救救国。因为，即使转基因国策从明天就开始修改为不转基因的国策，也来不及清理遍布全中国的基因污染、防御不了渗透在环境中的基因之毒害了。不管是否还来得及把中国农业从危难中拉出来，我们反正是一定要拼到底的。——顾秀林
【简而译之】
新书于周三在伦敦发布，美国公共利益律师斯蒂文.朱克揭示了美国政府和前沿科学机构是如何一贯地谬解质疑转基因的科学发现。著名灵长类研究者珍妮.古多尔认为，本书是50年来最重要的著作。
朱克律师迫使美国FDA公开的档案文件表明，转基因食品1992年首次商业化销售，仅仅是因为：1.FDA掩盖了本机构大量科学家关于转基因危险的警告，
2.公然撒谎，
3.违反联了邦食品安全法律，让转基因食品不经常规性标准检测，就上市销售。
如果FDA听从了自己的专家的建议，公开承认他们提出过警告,承认转基因食品的不安全性远甚于环境风险,那么转基因食品企业当时就会破产,根本不会成为任何一种发展动力。
许多地位显赫的科学家一而再地发表误导性言论，美国国家科学院这样的机构、美国科学协会以及英国皇家学会也是这样做的。
这样做的后果是：大多数人不理解转基因食品携带的风险以及随之而来的更多更复杂的问题。
实验室动物在完善的实验中表现出肠道异常、肝脏损伤、免疫系统被干扰。
无数科学家(包括FDA科学家在内)得出结论：基因修饰生物，相比于从常规育种方式得到的结果：截然不同而且有更大风险。
科学界从未有过共识。

Jane Goodall and Steven Druker Expose US Government Fraud over
GMOs

In an acclaimed new book being launched Wednesday in London,
American public interest attorney Steven Druker reveals how the US government
and leading scientific institutions have systematically misrepresented the
facts about GMOs and the scientific research that casts doubt on their safety.

The book, #FormatStrongID_2#, features a foreword by the renowned
primatologist Dame Jane Goodall, hailing it as “without
doubt one of the most important books of the last 50 years”.
The book’s revelations come at a crucial
time when some European countries are considering the commercial planting of GM
crops following the European Parliament’s decision to
allow member states to opt out of the blockade that has barred them from the EU
until now. Based on the evidence presented in the book, Druker and Goodall will
assert that it would be foolhardy to push forward with a technology that is
unacceptably risky and should never have been allowed on the market in the
first place.
The book is the result of more than 15 years of intensive research
and investigation by Druker, who came to prominence for initiating a lawsuit
against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that forced it to divulge its
files on GM foods. Those files revealed that GM foods first achieved
commercialisation in 1992 only because the FDA:
• Covered up the extensive warnings of its own scientists about
their dangers.
• Lied about the facts.
• And then violated federal food safety law by permitting these
foods to be marketed without having been proven safe through standard testing.
The book points out that if the FDA had heeded its own experts’ advice and publicly acknowledged their warnings that GM
foods entailed higher risks than their conventional counterparts, the GM food
venture would have imploded and never gained traction anywhere.
It also reveals:
• Many well-placed scientists have repeatedly issued misleading
statements about GM foods, and so have leading scientific institutions such as
the US National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and the UK’s Royal Society.
• Consequently, most people are unaware of the risks these foods
entail and the manifold problems they have caused.
• Contrary to the claims of biotech advocates, humans have indeed
been harmed by consuming the output of genetic engineering. In fact, the
technology’s first ingestible product (a food
supplement of the essential amino acid, L-tryptophan) caused dozens of deaths
and seriously sickened thousands of people (permanently disabling many of
them). Moreover, the evidence points to the genetic alteration as the most
likely cause of the unusual contamination that rendered the supplement toxic.
• Laboratory animals have also suffered from eating products of
genetic engineering, and well-conducted tests with GM crops have yielded many
troubling results, including intestinal abnormalities, liver disturbances, and
impaired immune systems.
• Numerous scientists (including those on the FDA’s
Biotechnology Task Force) have concluded that the process of creating
genetically modified food radically differs from conventional breeding and
entails greater risk.
• There has never been a consensus within the scientific community
that GM foods are safe, and many eminent experts have issued cautions – as have respected scientific organizations such as the
Royal Society of Canada and the Public Health Association of Australia.
Druker says: “Contrary to the assertions
of its proponents, the massive enterprise to reconfigure the genetic core of
the world’s food supply is not based on sound science
but on the systematic subversion of science – and it
would collapse if subjected to an open airing of the facts.”
At their upcoming press conference, he and Jane Goodall intend to
challenge the Royal Society to confront the facts, apologize for the misleading
statements that it and several of its prominent members have issued, and take
earnest steps to set the record straight.
In her foreword to Altered Genes, Twisted Truth , Goodall commends
it for countering the disinformation and providing much-needed clarity. She
states: “I shall urge everyone I know who cares about
life on earth, and the future of their children, and children’s
children, to read it. It will go a long way toward dispelling the confusion and
delusion that has been created regarding the genetic engineering process and
the foods it produces. . . . Steven Druker is a hero. He deserves at least a
Nobel Prize.”
Pat Thomas, Director of UK campaigning group Beyond GM, which is
facilitating the press launch, says: “Under pressure
from new legislation and the ongoing TTIP negotiations, the UK and the rest of
Europe are on the precipice of making sweeping changes to their historical
stance on GMOs. Much of our regulatory framework has been informed by
foundations laid down in America in the early 1990s, and the belief that they
got it right in terms of understanding the science of genetic modification.
Steven Druker’s investigation into the history of fraud
and deceit that ushered in the era of GMOs deserves serious consideration
before we take actions that will irreversibly alter the European food supply”.
About Steven Druker
Steven Druker is an American public interest attorney and
executive director of the Alliance for Bio-Integrity, the lead plaintiff in the
lawsuit he initiated against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that
gained worldwide attention by exposing how the agency had enabled the
commercialisation of GM foods through a colossal fraud.
About the book:
Altered Genes, Twisted Truth – How the
Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted
Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public
By Steven M. Druker
Foreword by Jane Goodall
Published March 2015
Praise for Altered Genes, Twisted Truth
“A fascinating book: highly informative, eminently readable, and
most enjoyable. It’s a real page-turner and an
eye-opener.” Richard C. Jennings, PhD Department of
History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge
“This incisive and insightful book is truly outstanding. Not only
is it well-reasoned and scientifically solid, it’s a
pleasure to read – and a must-read. Through its
masterful marshaling of facts, it dispels the cloud of disinformation that has
misled people into believing that GE foods have been adequately tested and don’t entail abnormal risk.” David
Schubert, PhD molecular biologist and Head of Cellular Neurobiology, Salk
Institute for Biological Studies
“A great book. The evidence is comprehensive, clear, and
compelling. No one has documented other cases of irresponsible behavior by
government regulators and the scientific establishment nearly as well as Druker
documents this one. His book should be widely read and thoroughly heeded.” John Ikerd, PhD Professor Emeritus of Agricultural
Economics, University of Missouri
“Steven Druker’s meticulously documented,
well-crafted, and spellbinding narrative should serve as a clarion call to all
of us. In particular, his chapter detailing the deadly epidemic of 1989-90 that
was linked with a genetically engineered food supplement is especially
significant. . . . Overall his discussion of this tragic event, as well as its
ominous implications, is the most comprehensive, evenly-balanced and accurate
account that I have read.” Stephen Naylor, PhD
Professor of Biochemistry, Mayo Clinic (1991-2001)
“A landmark. It should be required reading in every university
biology course.” Joseph Cummins, PhD Professor Emeritus
of Genetics, Western University, Ontario
